The Book of Revelation is probably the most frightening and perplexing book of the New Testament. Full of signs and symbols, predictions and warnings, it speaks of extraordinary times marked by falling stars, a bloodcovered moon, the collapse of empires, and widespread havoc. Such hyper-dramatic language characterizes all apocalyptic literature. Fr. Alfred McBride, O. Praem. sets the record straight with an authentic Catholic interpretation of the Book of Revelation. He gives you three keys to understanding the Book of Revelation.

Join Joseph Pearce as he explores the great theological depth of the most popular work of literature in the 20th century, J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. Despite the absence of any direct mention of Christ or the Catholic Church, Tolkien described his work as "fundamentally religious and Catholic." He was able to infuse his fictional world with theological orthodoxy through his creation of myth and a world order. Endowing his protagonists with Christian virtues, he also incorporated themes of grace and mercy.

In this course, Professor Joseph Pearce shows that Tolkien's own words about The Lord of the Rings being a "fundamentally religious and Catholic work" also apply to The Hobbit. Some readers mistakenly believe that The Hobbit is simply a children's story with little significance. While Tolkien indeed wrote the book for his children's entertainment, the narrative simplicity only serves its great moral and theological profundity. Professor Pearce guides you through various life lessons discovered through an in-depth reading of The Hobbit.

The Most Holy Rosary is one of the greatest prayers in the history of the Church. Garnished as it is with the testimony of saints and popes for the last thousand years, the only greater prayers are the Mass and the Divine Office. It is a prayer for the people, to be said over and over, and yet many still seek ways to enter into the deeper mansions of spiritual richness to be found in this devotion. If you seek to reap the full harvest of this bountiful prayer, focus on the mysteries to better follow the life of our Lord through the eyes of Our Blessed Lady.

The saints, the heroes of the Roman Catholic faith, lived lives of holiness, dedicated to serving God. The saints lived at different times in different places throughout history, but they all shared a love of God that has been documented through the teachings of the Church. Today, the saints serve as examples for all Catholics, showing the believers how to lead a more spiritual life. Catholic devotions are particular customs, rituals and practices of worship or in honour of the saints that are in addition to the liturgy of the Catholic Church.

Publisher's summary
Father Alfred McBride, O.Praem, named one of the most influential religious educators of the 20th century by the Talbot School of Theology, explains that each Gospel has a unique emphasis. A truly faithful picture of Jesus must be gleaned from studying all four Gospels.
Matthew, the tax collector, was a shrewd observer of human nature. His Gospel focuses on Jesus the Teacher. In the Sermon on the Mount, Christ teaches his disciples about the Kingdom of God. Matthew also describes how Christ founded Church life, beginning with his institution of Peter as the rock on which the Church would be built.
Mark's Gospel is the shortest, but is perhaps the richest in detail. Mark was a talented storyteller who gives us the picture of a resolute Jesus, who is determined to let people know the Good News. Mark shows that a true relationship with Jesus is deeper than that between a student and a teacher. Our calling, as Christians, is to become disciples of Jesus, who is our master - a master who sets us free in love.
Luke's Gospel reflects his friendly, humane, and trustworthy character. Without diminishing Christ's divinity, Luke shows us how to be intimate with the Son of God by helping us feel at home with the human Jesus.
John, the "apostle whom Jesus loved", enthusiastically gives us Jesus radiant with the light of his Resurrection. In John's Gospel, Jesus provides his self-description as light, life, way, truth, shepherd, and living bread. John expresses Jesus' remarkable ability to touch, not just to those in Capernaum, Galilee, and Jerusalem, but all of us in our present circumstances.
Together, these four books give us a personal picture of Jesus as encountered by his friends. We do not have to fly to the heavens or roam the farthest reaches of the seas to find Jesus of Nazareth. According to The Christ: A Faithful Picture from the Gospels, he is as near to us as our own heartbeat.
